Last update: Aug. 28th 2024
The 3 vs 3 version is here

Counter teams against:

Enemy team						Counter team					Win?	Notes	Action
												zzBossk, Boba G12, rest G11.  zJTR, Finn, RT G12.  zzBB8 and zzC3PO G11.  Very easy.  BH barely took any turns.  JTR wipe on Bossk then took out Jango, Boba, Cad, Bossk, then Dengar.
												Keep removing TM from Bossk, prevent Taunt, that's the key. Kill Greedo or Cad first (or IG88 if present). I lost RT and Rey (scavanger).
												Remove TM from Bossk; easy win.
												Wampa to make sure Nest could be killed in first attempt I think I lost Poe because of his taunt
												Always use rey third ability on Bossk, prevent him taunting. Kill Greedo or Zam first.
												Removing TM from Bossk works without a fifth Resistance. Don't waste R2's Smoke Screen if Dengar is stealthed. +58 CS
												Easy win. Prevent Bossk from taunting and keep expose train going
												Reduce TM on Bossk. Don't use Smokescreen if Dengar is stealthed. Rest is easy cheesy. +59 CS.
												Reduce TM on Bossk. Don't use Smokescreen if Dengar is stealthed. Rest is cheesy easy. +58 CS.
												Keep Bossk stunned/blocked to keep from taunting - solid win 55 banners
												Hard to tell when to go undersized with a zBossk team. 86k BH vs. JTR was overkill in this case. +58 banners.
												Very easy 60 point win
												they had just one turn. easy peasy
												96k BH vs. undersized 93k JTR. Same as always: reduce TM from Bossk, then attack whoever. +60 banners.
												Lost RT but still got the win +56 banners
												zBossk G12, zBoba G12, zGreedo G12, zIG-88 G12, Cad Bane G12. No problem at all. Reduce TM on Bossk and ability block him all the time, kill Boba first.
												99k BH vs 90k JTR. Nice reliable counter. +59 banners.
												91k BH vs 90k JTR still routine even if undersized. +59 banners.
												94k BH vs. 84k JTR. A 10k GP disparity makes this a tough matchup without R2-D2. Managed to win but Finn and Stick Rey didn't make it. +53 banners.
												Mind trick on bossk.  Kill the BH with least health, and keep the ball running
												87k BH vs. 85k undersized JTR. Same procedure as usual but slow down and try to use Finn's heal for full health bonuses before killing Bossk. +60 banners.
												+59 banners.
												95k BH vs. 99k JTR is massive overkill. +57 banners.
												Easy win. They don't really have time to react.
												91k BH vs. 100k JTR. RT got destroyed immediately. Nest sticked down by Stick Rey's triple stick smack. +54 banners.
												+57 banners.
												+59 banners.
												Easy, 98k Bossk troop, 20p
												99k BH vs. 100k JTR. A tenatious Bossk can almost ruin the party. A mediocre +53 banners.
												94k BH vs. 85k JTR. Rip Stick. +57 banners.
												106k BH vs. 105k JTR. Remember to use Finn's heal to get full protection. +60 banners.
												93k BH vs undersized 85k. Killed them too fast, couldn't spam Finn's heal. +60 banners.
												Only managed to take out Bossk :-(
												They were 4 out of 5 Gear 12. My Finn, Scavenger, Resistance Trooper under geared. Trooper was 5 star. JTR at max. BB8 good.  So make sure your power is close. JTR team can't be too much of an underdog
												Got destroyed by extremely well modded Bossk
												111k BH team defeated a 90k JTR undersized squad in an intense battle. Managed to kill all but Bossk and Dengar. Should have thrown Finn in there too.
												96k vs. 85k undersized JTR. Mind Trick didn't stick on Bossk; killed everyone except Dengar. R2 or C-3P0 would have helped.
												85k JTR can't beat 86k BH
